The Clippers won a hard-fought Game 4 in the Western Conference Semifinals yesterday at the Staples Center, defeating the Thunder 101 to 99 in a nailbiter of a contest. Over the weekend, it appears that the NBA has been working to come up with a legal strategy to bar Donald and Shelly Sterlings from keeping ownership of the team.
Two weeks after the Sterling recording emerged, Donald and estranged wife Shelly have both given interviews to big media outlets. Shelly Sterling was on ABC News, telling Barbara Walters that she intends to fight to keep her 50 percent stake in the Clippers. Donald Sterling, meanwhile, has recorded an interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper, apologizing for what he said and asking for forgiveness. That interview airs tonight.
